This advantage allows for an increased rate of reaction under conditions when the CO partial pressure is relatively low, for example due to a low total pressure in the carbonylation reactor or due to high vapour pressure of components of the liquid reaction composition, e.g. at high methyl ethanoate concentration in the liquid reaction composition or due to a high concentration of inert gases (for example nitrogen and CO 2 in the carbonylation reactor.
  • the catalyst system may also have advantages of increasing rate of carbonylation when the rate of reaction is reduced by the availability of CO in solution in the liquid reaction composition resulting from mass transfer limitations, for example due to poor agitation.
  • the pressure of the carbonylation reaction is suitably in the range 0.9 to 19.9 MPa, preferably 0.9 to 9.9 MPa, most preferably 1.4 to 4.9 MPa.
  • the temperature of the carbonylation reaction is suitably in the range 100 to 300 °C, preferably in the range 150 to 220 °C.
  • Ethanoic acid may advantageously be used as a solvent for said carbonylation reaction.
  • the carbonylation process of the present invention may be performed as a batch or continuous process, preferably as a continuous process and may be performed in any suitable reactor, known to those skilled in the art.
  • the ethanoic acid product may be removed from the reactor by withdrawing liquid reaction composition and separating the ethanoic acid product by one or more flash and/or fractional distillation stages from the other components of the liquid reaction composition such as iridium catalyst, ruthenium and/or osmium and/or indium promoter, methyl iodide, water and unconsumed reactants which may be recycled to the reactor to maintain their concentrations in the liquid reaction composition.
  • the ethanoic acid product may also be removed as a vapour from the stream exiting the carbonylation reactor.
  • halide promoters and stabilizers such as methyl iodide
  • the continued presence of halide compounds in the carbonylation reaction products is undesirable if the product is employed as a starting material in a subsequent process employing a halide-sensitive catalyst where poisoning effects may be cumulative and irreversible.
  • the ethanoic acid product is purified of halide compounds. This purification treatment can be achieved by any appropriate method known to those skilled in the art.
  • halides can be removed from the liquid phase using silver salts either unsupported, or supported, on an ion-exchange resin or a zeolite as exemplified in US 5344976 and references therein.
  • the separated ethanoic acid from the stream exiting the carbonylation reactor is purified to remove carbonylation catalyst and water, before its introduction into the alcohol synthesis unit.
  • the ethanoic acid stream contains preferably less than 0.1 ppm wt of carbonylation catalyst, more preferably less than 0.05 ppm wt, most preferably less than 0.005 ppm wt.
  • At least a part, preferably all, of the said ethanoic acid feed stream originates from the aforementioned carbonylation reaction; however in practice, it may also originate from another suitable source, such as wood pyrolysis and/or as a by-product of a fermentation process to produce alcohol(s).
  • the ethanoic acid stream contains preferably less than 20 mol % of water.
  • water represents between 0.5 and 20 mol %, preferably between 0.5 and 15 mol % and most preferably between 1 and 5 mol % of the total liquid feed (ethanoic acid and water) to the alcohol synthesis unit.
  • the ethanoic acid fed into the alcohol synthesis unit is preferably purified of sulphur and halide compounds.
  • This purification treatment can be achieved by any appropriate method known to those skilled in the art.
  • halides and iodides can be removed in the liquid phase using silver salts (either homogeneous or supported) on either an ion-exchange resin or a zeolite, or for the removal of sulphides the purification treatment may be performed in the vapour phase, by passing the vapour over a sacrificial bed of zinc oxide (or copper zinc oxides).
  • the ethanoic acid feed is preferably vapourised prior to contacting the alcohol synthesis catalyst by either, heating the ethanoic acid in a separate vapouriser prior to having contact with the synthesis gas or, by heating the ethanoic acid within the synthesis gas (e.g. either in a separate vessel or on a prebed to the alcohol synthesis reactor).
  • the feed mixture including recycles entering the alcohol synthesis unit e.g. the synthesis gas, together with the ethanoic acid
